Rob,
More on the ToF item: This is just a standard Word placeholder object and you can place it anywhere you like in the template. It is formatted in Word, not in Help+Manual.

Re: How to create TOC of tables
Of course--I knew, immediately after I hit "submit" that it was dumb to mention it, as GMTA! (Great Minds...). What I was thinking is that since H&M handles styles with such facility, creating a caption style, for tables, solely, might short-cut it.Tim Green wrote:
@Hitch:I've asked Alex to look into this. However, as in all things with HM, supporting a wide range of very different output formats makes most ideas much more complicated than they seem at first glance, with many unexpected ramifications and side-effects.Just an idea--what if Table Captions were a thing? I mean, if tables had captions (with numbering, possibly), then, couldn't you create a list of the captions, by calling the styles linked thereto? Would that be an eas(ier) way to address it?

Re: How to create TOC of tables
Been experimenting with this as I too would like to have TOF and TOT in my PDFs without having to go through docx.
What is best practice for the captions for tables and images?
I currently have the captions for tables and figures in a conditional paragraph after the image/table (e.g. IFNOT CHM, HTML <%LangSpecificVariable%> <%Counter%>: Caption END).
The paragraph is formatted as "Table Caption" or "Image Caption" respectively.
When I output to docx, the styles are then "H&M Table Caption" or "H&M Image Caption".
I can then pick those two up in the docx for TOT and TOF
TOC \h \z \t "H&M Table Caption" \c \x
TOC \h \z \t "H&M Image Caption" \c \x
Has anyone a more elegant solution with appropriate switches?
